A path consists of two consecutive parametric segments: Segment I: x(t)=t,  y(t)=0,  0≤t≤3x(t)=t,\;y(t)=0,\;0\le t\le 3. Segment II: x(θ)=3+2cos⁡θ,  y(θ)=2sin⁡θ,  0≤θ≤π2x(\theta)=3+2\cos\theta,\;y(\theta)=2\sin\theta,\;0\le \theta\le\dfrac{\pi}{2}. Determine the total length of the complete path. (a) 3+π23+\dfrac{\pi}{2} (b) 2π2\pi (c) 3+π3+\pi (d) 3+2π3+2\pi
